In a significant move to bolster national food security, Malaysia's Higher Education Ministry, has announced a collaborative study on the feasibility of cultured meat production.
The study will be carried out in collaboration with the Malaysia’s Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry and the National Institutes of Biotechnology.
Malaysia’s Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said: “This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing food technology and securing a stable food supply for the future.”
The initiative is part of broader efforts, including the Chuping Dairy Farm Project and support for the local onion industry, to strengthen Malaysia’s food security.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasised the importance of adopting advanced technologies and exploring future food solutions, such as cell-based meat, to guarantee food quality and safety. “Integrated and holistic efforts are essential for implementing these food security initiatives,” he said.
